Introduction: I'm now accepting new voice and piano students in my studio in Downingtown, PA! I welcome students of all ages and levels and am happy to work in a variety of musical styles. I offer private and semi-private lessons, classes and weekend workshops.
I also offer tutoring in music theory, sight-singing and ear-training. I believe that a solid foundation of musicianship is important for singers and instrumentalists alike and I've seen it make a real difference in the enjoyment and performances of many of my students. I also offer coaching for vocal auditions and juries and can help you prepare for musical theater parts, operatic roles and concert repertoire.
As the daughter of two pianists, I have grown up with music and have a deep appreciation and love for the process and progress that is a part of learning to play any instrument. Another speciality of mine is piano for vocalists, so if your goal is not only to sing but also to accompany yourself on the piano, I can help! I have several students who elect to take these voice/piano combination lessons.
I hold a Bachelor's of Music degree from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and a Master's degree in Vocal Performance from the University of Delaware. My performing career has taken me all over the world and although I am primarily an opera singer, I also have professional experience in the jazz and musical theater worlds. I have also enjoyed my work as a choral conductor and as a musical director to various community organizations and schools.
Please contact me if you have any questions. I realize that choosing the right teacher can be difficult. Your talent is unique and so the approach to building it, strengthening it and acquiring technique must be as well. Therefore, I am happy to offer a free phone consultation, so you can decide if my services are appropriate for your individual needs.
I appreciate the abilities of each of my students and enjoy witnessing their progress and the increased self-confidence that comes with the studying music!
